Chapter 145
However, from now on, I will no longer recognize Henry Quill as thy father,” I said. “Apart from offering support that he needs when he gets older, I will no longer have any contact with him. I also ask that he never reach out to me ever again.”
I continued, “Simply put, our father–daughter relationship ends here!”
He had given me life, and now I was going to help him get his life and freedom back. So we’re considered even.
Mom and Jeremy were stunned by my words. They were in a daze as they never expected me to say something like this.
After all, I had always longed for a family and desired love.
There once was a time when I would’ve sacrificed my life for them if they showed me even the slightest bit of kindness. But now, I was severing ties with them.
Snapping back to reality, Mom began chastising me. “Are you out of your mind, Millicent?”
She and Julianne truly were like mother and daughter, despite Julianne being adopted. Mom had said the same thing she did.
I chuckled humorlessly. “Sure, consider me mad!”
I no longer wanted a family, and I no longer desired love. It had been so hard for me to get my life back. So, I was planning on living it more meaningfully. I had no intention to waste yet another second on them.
Mom had never seen me so detached and heartless before. Thus, she couldn’t help panicking.
“But he’s your birth father, Millicent!” she exclaimed, trying to reason with me. “You wouldn’t even exist without him!” Ignoring Mom, I simply stated we would meet at the police station tomorrow morning at nine. Then, I moved to open the door.
Ever since my injury, I no longer had as much energy as before.
Today, I had treated someone to a meal, rescued someone from a car, and then went to the hospital. I’d had a busy day, so my body couldn’t take it anymore.
It was as though Mom had been physically struck by my indifference. Unable to bear it, she tried to grab hold of me. However, Jeremy stopped her.
He seemed to be able to tell how tired I was. “You must be exhausted, Emi. We’ll leave you to rest.”
With that, he left and took Mom with him.
I couldn’t help watching his retreating figure. I knew I was being weak, yet I couldn’t help being moved and emotionally affected by him.
I went to the police station the next day after a night of rest.
As promised, I gave a new statement so that Dad–or should I say Mr. Quill–will be released.
I didn’t bother waiting around for him to come out. I didn’t want to see him. Instead, I led a group of people to Julianne’s home.
The villa she was currently living in was a gift from Irvin. It was worth tens of millions of dollars.
She had used my own money to put a hit on me, and I wasn’t going to stand this humiliation any longer. So today, I was going to ke away her ability clean her out! It didn’t matter whether I was doing so to force Irvin to follow through with our divorce or to hire more hitmen.
Julianne had been kicked out of the hospital earlier this morning. After this happened, she had cried woefully to Irvin over the phone. She did so in hopes he would come over and comfort her.

Lulfanne was already angry because of what had happened at the hospital earlier this morning. And she became enraged when slie saw me standing outside her home. Especially when she also saw the large number of people I had brought along with me.
“What are you trying to do, Emilia?” She sneered. “Are you trying to force your way into my home? Best believe I will call the cops if you dare to lay a finger on me! I’ll have you sent to prison!”
I was a law–abiding citizen. Would I do anything illegal? Of course not!
I hadn’t brought all these people here to reclaim her gifts by force. No, I had brought them here to make a scene.
Not only was I going to take away all her financial support, but I was also going to ensure she became the talk of the town. I wanted everyone to know just how disgraceful she was.
I clapped my hands twice, and the people behind me immediately stepped forward.
One held up a megaphone and began loudly chanting, “Shameless mistress! Return my hard–earned money! Shameless mistress! Return my hard–earned money!”
The sound from the megaphone filled the air. It instantly drew people’s attention.
Julianne’s expression darkened even further as the crowd of onlookers grew. She seemed to be on the verge of losing her tempér.
Just when I thought she was going to erupt, a car appeared. A tall man exited the vehicle and walked over to us.
It was Irvin.
Julianne was just about to explode. However, when she spotted him , she immediately acted like a damsel in distress.
“Irvin…” she cried as she threw herself at him.
